Viewing Flow Logs

You can view information about your flow logs in the Amazon EC2 and Amazon VPC consoles
by viewing
the Flow Logs tab for a specific resource. When you select the
resource, all the flow logs for that resource are listed. The information
displayed includes
the ID of the flow log, the flow log configuration, and information about
the status of the
flow log.

Select your VPC or subnet, and choose Flow Logs.
Information about the flow logs is displayed on the tab. The
Destination type column indicates the destination
to which the flow logs are published.

Viewing Flow Log Records

You can view your flow log records using the CloudWatch Logs console or Amazon S3
console, depending on the chosen
destination type. It may take a few minutes after you've created your flow
log for it to be visible
in the console.

For Bucket name, select the bucket to which the flow logs are
published.

For Name, select the check box next to the log file. On the
object overview panel, choose Download.

Deleting a Flow Log

You can delete a flow log using the Amazon EC2 and Amazon VPC consoles.

Note

These procedures disable the flow log service for a resource. Deleting a flow log
does not delete the existing log streams from CloudWatch Logs and log files from
Amazon S3.
Existing flow log data must be deleted using the respective service's console.
In addition, deleting a flow log that publishes to Amazon S3 does not remove
the
bucket policies and log file access control lists (ACLs).
